The non-volatile random access memory/time of day (NVRAM/TOD) module contains the system host identification (ID) and Ethernet address. You may be migrating a functioning NVRAM/TOD module to a new main logic board in order to preserve host ID information. However, if you are replacing a defective NVRAM/TOD module and want to retain the same host ID, consult your authorized Sun sales representative or service provider.
